No matter how nice we try to put things, there is no denying that life is a battle. Everyday is a struggle.
However, with every struggle is a blessing. We are blessed to be alive and given the chance to make changes everyday.
People say, “live your life to the fullest”; I am here to do just that.
Hi, My name is Nadrah and this is my story.
I'm a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a cousin, a friend, a wife and a mother but most of all, I will always be a little girl at heart.
This blog is about my life and how I try to live it to the fullest while keeping it well balanced.

6 years ago...

6 years of marriage has taught me the importance of perseverance. In the face of true love, you need to prepare for the worst and learn to love despite the bitterness that comes along with the challenges of life. A commitment to keep on fighting even if the object of your affection is begging you to give up. As my daughter, Zara Aliya says, two people who got married and have a baby must love each other and stay together. In the most difficult time in life, we must not stay away but rather still be there to support each other. Forgiveness is also just as important. In Syaa Allah time will unravel how worthy we are of second chances.

Happy Anniversary...

Maybelline's Dream Make Up Base and Satin Foundation

Recently, Guardian Malaysia had a Cosmetic Offer where most of their cosmetic products are at 50% off. So, I decided to go on a drugstore make up haul. Haha!!! Ok, maybe it is not that much of a haul. I just bought myself an everyday alternative to my Fenty Beauty (Cause really, Fenty is quite pricy for me to wear everyday). There weren't that much of a choice as I went on the last day and most of the items are sold out. Bought myself a primer and foundation from Maybelline. 
Maybelline's Dream One Day Perfect Dual Protection Lasting Base  (RM49.90)
Description on the Packaging: DREAM ONE DAY PERFECT BASE The soft and smooth base protects your skin not only from oiliness, but also from dryness. Sebum adsorbing formula covers pores, and prevents skin from unwanted shine and oiliness. Moisturizing formula keeps your skin fresh, and protects the finish look all day long. SPF 18+ PA++.
Maybelline's Dream Satin Skin in shade B2 (RP: RM51.79)
Description on the Bottle: Discover the skin of your dreams with the all new Dream Satin Skin Liquid Mousse foundation by Maybelline New York. . This formula never allows the skin to clog and makes it breathable at all times.Get satin-poreless perfection.
After discount, I spent a total of approximately RM50 for both items which really is quite ok for me. Really, being a working class mom who just started to build a family and career, budget is definitely one of the main concern. Whilst I can be very thrifty, I'm one of those person who still is very much concerned of my vanity. LOL! Oh well, I try my best to be more presentable.

With Dream 1 Day Lasting Base
Foundation on me and Maybelline's Age Rewind Under Eye Concealer
Blended! To be honest, weight-wise it really doesn't feel as if I have anything on.
Finish with a bit of Eye Liner, Blusher and Lip Color
At 10am while waiting for my conference to start..... Still very much Fresh Faced! 
Around 2pm, the make up was still very much there. It only shifted a lil but still much better than others I tried. 

So far, am loving it! Light weight and natural...It doesn't have this cakey finishing that cracks on your skin which is very important to me since I have sensitive and combination skin. My conclusion is, this is Definitely a Steal!
